Abstract

Occurrences of line type echoes over Gauhati Airport with respect to their shapes, orientations, length width, movements, times of occurrences, life cycles and associated upper air synoptic situations during the premonsoon months (March-May) for the period 1961-1969 have been studied, Formation and movements of 60 squall lines have been observed during the above period with the help of medium powered Decca and Bendix Radars. A correlation between the direction of movement of the lines with that :of the upper winds at particular levels have been found.
